Nokia 6, Nokia 5, Nokia 3, Nokia 3310 India Launch Date Reveal Expected Monday
Details of the India launch of Nokia 3310 (2017) and the three new Nokia Android phones may be announced on Monday, May 8, at a New Delhi event being hosted by HMD Global. The invite calls the event “a conversation with Juho Sarvikas, Chief Product Officer, HMD Global,” without giving away any details. HMD Global, which has the licence to manufacture and sell Nokia-branded smartphones worldwide, is expected to announce the India launch date of Nokia 3310, Nokia 3, Nokia 5, and Nokia 6 at the event, while fans will likely have to wait for the actual launch to find out the respective prices.
In an interview with Gadgets 360 after the MWC 2017 launch of the four phones, Sarvikas said the Nokia Android handsets’ design and software updates will be the real differentiators for buyers, not just the specifications. The new Nokia 3310, on the other hand, was described by him as "less of a rational product”, adding that that it came straight from the heart.
At the MWC 2017 Nokia launch event, the company announced that the new Nokia 3310 and Android smartphones will be launched in markets such as India, Asia Pacific, Middle East, Africa and Europe in the second quarter. With April already over and the India launch event on May 8, Nokia’s range of smartphones and the new feature phone can be expected to hit the market any time after mid-May.
Of the four Nokia phones, the feature phone enjoys the most popularity, primarily because of the nostalgia fans have for the original Nokia 3310. In fact, an online retailer in India has already started taking pre-orders for Nokia 3310 (2017), but HMD Global has confirmed the listing to be unofficial. In this listing, which mentions no launch date and only has the ‘Coming Soon’ tag, the Nokia 3310 price in India is Rs. 3,899. At the official MWC 2017 launch, the feature phone’s price was announced as EUR 49, which translates to roughly Rs. 3,500.
In terms of features and specifications, the new Nokia 3310 has a 2.4-inch QVGA colour display, 2G connectivity, Nokia Series 30+ OS. 16MB storage, and support for expandable storage via microSD card (up to 32GB). It packs a removable 1200mAh and sports a 2-megapixel rear camera with LED flash. The classic Snake game is making a return with Nokia 3310 (2017). Battery life of the feature phone delivers talk time of 22 hours and standby time of 1 month.
